Re: Bootlegs with offically unreleased STUDIO outtakes


There are quite a few bootleg/Import LP's and CD's with officially unreleased live recordings, but the bootlegs with unreleased STUDIO outtakes are getting less and less.

Elvis Presley / Black star. A 12" vinyl, 45 rpm from SGT Bilko productions, released ...

Re: Are you still buying expensive FTD boxsets?

I do buy some of them, but only for the music, so hugely resent having to pay a lot of money for books that I don't want.

Re: Elvis vinyl mastered by Boppin' Bob Jones



Here are some better photos. There are two more things etched into the run out. One says Grampian and the other ???Wembley. They're too difficult to photograph.

Re: Elvis vinyl mastered by Boppin' Bob Jones

I've got rid of a few of mine, but I do have this one. Acuff Rose presents Elvis. It has a label on the front of the cover which says "Acuff-Rose presents Elvis Limited Edition, Presented to Roger Scott", who was a British DJ.

Sorry about the out of focus photo.

So Neon and Universal Pictures will distribute EPiC next year.
No idea if it matters who get the rights….and also no idea if that makes
any difference regarding a Bluray release.



What is telling is that it has got two distributors.
